"Because many of you suggested to make new Settings page more compact, we have decreased space between the sections. Please let us know if you like it.

Also, we added the page zoom level indicator in the combined address and search bar. If you change the level of the page zoom, you will see a pop-up, informing you about it. You can then change the page’s zoom level by using +/- in the pop-up. If you have page zoom set to default for all pages, the zoom indicator won’t appear in the address bar, until you change the zoom on one of the pages.

You can adjust the page zoom level for all web pages by going to Settings > Basic > Appearance > Page zoom. If you have adjusted the zoom level for an individual website, go to Settings > Advanced > Privacy and security > Content settings > Zoom levels.

Moreover, we added some improvements to the new enhanced address bar, a feature where you can access your Speed Dial from the address bar while browsing. Check out the available tools for the enhanced address bar by going to Settings > Appearance > Manage Quick Access.

with new update introduce this google research box when clicking in address bar. As you can see in picture, my search site is duck duck go.

Please consider that some of us do not want to use google & cie sites.
The use of user selected search engine would be appreciated.
I personnely feel it should be user choice to have or not this popup.
Maybe it is already a choice, since i cannot find a flag for it ...

I guess you are the first person I see that use those icons, people usually use keywords in the address bar.

Your picture shows that DDG is being used for searching on address bar. As I said, the search field in the enhanced address bar is the one that you see in start page and hs nothing to do with your default search engine.

I do not want to argue with you ... but i do not see google in my start page.
Opera was kind enought to put an option in settings to remove it from there, sooooooo anyways like you suggested i will use keywords.
